Late Night with the Devil
Regie Cameron Cairnes, Colin Cairnes
Die Zuschauerzahlen befinden sich schon seit Langem im freien Fall: Die Sendung der Halloween-Nacht von 1977 ist für die Late-Night-Talkshow „Night Owls“ und ihren Moderator Jack Delroy die letzte Chance, sich beim Publikum zu bewähren. Demgemäß plant er mit seinen Gästen die spektakulärste Horror-Show des Jahres: Ein Hellseher nimmt Kontakt zu toten Verwandten auf, bevor er auf offener Bühne einen gewaltigen Schleimstrahl erbricht. Ein Zweifler versucht sich an der Aufdeckung der unerklärlichen Phänomene, die diesen Abend heimsuchen. Und dann ist da noch eine Parapsychologin in Begleitung der 13-jährigen Lilly, die als einzige den Massenselbstmord einer satanischen Sekte überlebt hat und vom mysteriösen Mr. Wiggles besessen sein will. Während sich hinter den Kulissen zunehmend Panik über die beängstigenden Vorkommnisse und die gefährdete Quote breitmacht, nimmt die Show ihren verhängnisvollen Verlauf. Der letzte Mitschnitt wurde nie gesendet … bis heute.

Late Night with the Devil Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Brandon Luttrell19. Februar 2026Whoa … 🤯
- rg94001. November 2024This film is presented in a very unique way, as a late night broadcast TV show, told in realtime, with a few behind the scene style shots. The cinematography is grainy and flickers, there is a nostalgic 70s style atmosphere to everything, and David Dastmalchian is able to easily embody the slick and smooth late night talk show host. Honestly, the direction is pretty strong, and I found most of this movie to be fairly engaging as I became engrossed in the actual talk show. The tension is built slowly as you know things are going to go wrong, but there is no outright jumpscares, just a building of atmosphere. I also was fairly invested in learning the backstory of Jack Delroy, as the movie keeps building up to what feels like will be a big reveal. However, the ending of the movie was fairly disappointing. It's abrupt, a bit too surreal compared to how grounded most of the rest of the movie is, and does not resolve most of the arcs in any satisfying way. I was hoping everything would click into place, but a lot of questions are left unanswered, leaving me feeling frustrated and confused and almost ruining the entire movie for me to be honest. I want to reconcile the strong first 80% of the movie with the ending, but I feel like since so much of it is build-up, and the payoff is not satisfactory, I can't actually give this a higher score. I do think the directors are strong, and I hope they focus a bit more on making everything land in their next movie.
- DeadlyDuncan25. Oktober 2025Great film. Good take on horror. Although not scary just really well done and enjoyable watch.

- jackmeat25. Oktober 2025My quick rating - 7.0/10. Let’s see what all the hype is about. I can tell you what the fuss was about—a refreshing breath of air in the horror genre. Late Night With The Devil delivers a creative twist on the found footage formula, ditching the “I lost my hand-cam in the woods” cliché and opting instead for something far more original: the recovered footage of a 1977 late-night talk show broadcast that went catastrophically wrong. What we see is the supposed “unaired episode” of Night Owls with Jack Delroy, hosted by a wonderfully unhinged David Dastmalchian. What starts as a routine Halloween special soon devolves into chaos, unleashing something far darker than anyone expected—evil, live on television. The film’s presentation is a stroke of genius. It blends behind-the-scenes footage, on-air segments, and the chaos during commercial breaks to give us a full sense of the world within the studio. The pacing is superb—this isn’t a film that tries to make you jump every two minutes but one that keeps you utterly absorbed, waiting for the next unsettling thing to happen. It feels like watching a train wreck you can’t look away from, only this train happens to be possessed by a demon. The cast deserves plenty of credit. Ian Bliss as Carmichael, the magician and professional skeptic, adds just the right amount of tension and cynicism, grounding the increasingly bizarre events. But the real standout is Ingrid Torelli as Lily, the young girl supposedly channeling a dark presence. Her performance is eerie, controlled, and hypnotic—those wide, curious eyes scanning the set like she’s seeing through the world itself. She nails that unsettling blend of innocence and menace, and every moment she’s on screen feels charged. The scares here are more psychological and atmospheric than outright shocking, but when the finale arrives, the gloves come off and the film dives headfirst into nightmarish territory. Unfortunately, that’s also where it stumbles a bit. The ending, while wild, feels like it doesn’t quite match the inventiveness that came before it. I was hoping for a more creative or emotionally resonant resolution after all that excellent build-up. Even with that small gripe, Late Night With The Devil is a clever, immersive, and surprisingly stylish horror experience. It perfectly captures the look and feel of 1970s television while giving horror fans something fresh to sink their teeth into. If you grew up watching Letterman, Johnny Carson, or even The Larry Sanders Show, this twisted time capsule will feel eerily familiar—and by the end, you might never look at a live broadcast the same way again.
- thereelvoice28. März 2025Late Night With The Devil captures the essence of a late night 70s show. You’re transported backstage as you witness the long lost “live” recording of a night that went horribly wrong. While not the scariest horror film, Late Night With The Devil is an expertly crafted tale that will keep you on edge of your seat until the final moments. When it was all over, this viewer was eager to rewind it and watch the eerie spectacle unfold all over again. In my top 5 horror films of 2024.
- Mars Swiodorn3. November 2025Unique, well executed, great direction, Paces superbly, fantastic acting, and is a psychological type of thriller rather than jump scare horror. You get a real sense of seeing what you werent meant to see, behind the scenes of an old broadcast from the 1970s. I could go into depth when i have more time to write. I would say its a must see for Horror and Psychological Thriller enthusiasts. 8.4/10
- JakeSteel773. November 2025Yup, love it.
- Daryl Williams25. Oktober 2025I watched this last year and I was blown away! One of the best horror films of the last 30 years. The atmosphere grows at a perfect pace. It convinced me that I was watching a lost media episode of late night from the 70's. The host is great. And the guests are brilliant too. I loved seeing the behind the scenes during the ad breaks and yeah, it's so unique. 1000% watch this if you love good horror. I'll be having a rewatch on Halloween I think. It's the perfect Halloween watch as if I remember it's set on during a Halloween special. 8.7/10
- KGM SOSA11. Oktober 2025Holllllyyyyyy, this was such a breath of fresh air. The concept was so original & presented in such a new & layered way, unlike any horror film I’ve ever seen before. The late night talk show format, the behind the scenes inclusion, how each segment plays off the other getting progressively darker & more sinister this was presented in such an entertaining & original way that I just didn’t want it to end! Then, to find out while reading up before writing this review (because I was so speechless I had to do some research on IMDb & Google to help get my thoughts into words), that this was a LOW BUDGET film absolutely blew my mind. It comes across like a high budget, major studio backed project & doesn’t have the visible flaws you often see in lower budget productions. I’m sure there are horror fans out there who won’t be super into this film, but personally, I thought it was an innovative, unique piece that had me hooked the whole way through. Even before & between the paranormal horror began to unfold, I was already invested in this fictional late night talk show episode. I also love the 70s aesthetic, they did a marvellous job making it feel like the 70s, from the way everyone was dressed to the technology how the show looked (more on that at the end). I’m a sucker for exceptionally crafted nostalgia from past decades in movies. The performances were brilliant too. David Dastmalchian did a wonderful job playing Jack Delroy, particularly in how naturally he transitioned from being charming & humorous to showing genuine shock & concern over the supernatural events around him. Ingrid Torelli also did a fantastic job (period… BUT) especially for someone so young & inexperienced, with only a few minor acting roles before this. I’m certain this will be her big break & the start of an upward trajectory to stardom. The rest of the cast were equally fantastic, even the supporting cast. Literally all of them, no exceptions. I want to name them & give them their props in case any of them are reading this, but because EVERYONE was so great, it would take too much space to list them all. There wasn’t a single poor performance or weakly delivered line in the entire movie. I did think the ending two or three minutes got a bit confusing & maybe subpar in parts; the flashback/hallucination sequence wasn’t particularly gripping but then it completely saved itself with the twist. It’s not easy to understand, I was actually glad to see online that most people were a little confused too. Anyway spectacular film. A refreshingly original & groundbreaking horror movie that didn’t need to recycle a single cliché or trope. This was layered, unpredictable & beautifully executed. Truly an unforgettable, conceptually innovative masterpiece of horror. My rating has to be a 10/10 because IMDb won’t allow 9 & half-stars, & I refuse to give it only a 9. Great work cast & the Cairnes brothers - well done. Fun Fact: Upon researching it now makes sense why this felt so authentically 70s, Late Night With the Devil was filmed using genuine 1970s broadcast cameras & analog studio equipment to give it that authentic retro TV look. Also David Dastmalchian’s monologues were performed live in full takes, just like a real late-night host. This albeit a shocking & revelation, makes so much sense as I couldn’t put my finger on why it felt so authentically from the time period. It was also filmed entirely in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺
- Niztradamus30. September 2025After the second viewing it still feels like a new breeze of fresh air among the same story told over and over again. Late Night with the Devil brings forth new ideas, no doubtably inspired by The Cleansing Hour but with a higher budget. Great acting, great writing and a studio set apparently is all it takes to make a good horror movie. Now don't be fooled. This isn't a movie that will make you scared. It's a movie that makes you nostalgic for the glory days of late night television with things happening, we all hoped to see on the spooky specials of these shows. One star reduction for dropping the found footage style close to the end though. That pulled me out of the experience a bit.
